I am looking for a nice reverb and am torn between staying ITB with a uad-1 (which granted will get me some other nice plugs) or going OTB with something like a Rumour? Any ideas?

Which reverb plug on the UAD-1 were you thinking of getting? I've heard really good things about their plate plug (haven't used it), but I wasn't super overly impressed with the Dreamverb.
I guess I'd say if your primary purpose is reverb, I'd get the Rumour, but the plug-ins on the UAD-1 are amazing, and, if it were me with my needs instead of you with yours, I'd definitely pick the UAD over the Rumour.

......Or think about getting a TC-Powercore I find the verbs on the PCore to be very good, and by all accounts much better than Dreamverb.

People generally say the UAD-1 has amazing compressors and the powercore has the great sounding reverb. However, the plate reverb has been getting really good reviews.

I've got both. Rumour has some great verbs. Wasn't as impressed with the uad verbs. The plate is supposed to be good, but I havn't used it. The UAD compressors and eq's kick serious ass though.
edit - and I use the Rumour ITB most of the time - thanks to SX3!

I have two UAD-1s,the Realverb and Dreamverb are usable,the Plate 140 is awesome. 
The compressors and EQ are fantastic and unless you've got some really good plugs already,will help your mixes better than any reverb could.
I know nothing about the Rumour,other than it seems to get consistently good reviews.
Remember you can run multiple instance of plugs with a UAD-1,settings are recallable via the host program and there are no cords to be run so it's a lot more convenient.

I have both, for a reason. The plate on the uad is great, but the rumour is an all-around great box, and it also has a great plate.
If all you want or need is a platye, then the uad might be a better choise for all the other effects you get. The Rumour just does verbs, but IMHO only the uad plate is even in the same league with the rumour's verbs.

And the Rumour reportedly gives you two excellent channels of ADA.

Winner chicken dinner!
i don't like any of the UAD reverbs. The plate was the best out of all of them but it had this "thick" quality that i didn't like. Maybe I could have EQ'ed in the low mids or something and gotten better results, but the demo ran out and i never tried it. Seems like it would be better for sparse mixes. But I didn't spend a ton of time with it.
The best plugin reverbs i've used are the Arts Acoustic verb, the convolution plugs, and this Anwida Spazio demo i just got.

Well I have a UAD-1 and i must say i do like some of the reverbs but their strength is in the EQs and compressors, I would say for that alone you should at least make the investment. As far as A reverb Plugin a convolution type seems to sound the most natural and really do sound like a real room as well as closest to a Hardware reverb. Speaking of hardware do u have any hardware verbs? run your tracks through that to tracks(reamp) then fix the delay in the verb tracks or use it for predelay I use my PCM 90 all the time that way has the digital output so it makes it nice to do this techinique

Cubase SX3 allows you to set up an external device to use like a plugin - it's a damn cool feature.
